Okay, ty so much!! She belongs to my bf. He swears she is a GBE aka blondi (as claimed by petshop) but I disagree
He can swear it’s a Blondi all he likes but he’ll be wrong :)


Who else wants to see the set up for this specimen?
I do agree actually. P Cambridgei and T Blondi have very different care and setup requirements. If he swears it’s a Blondi then I can only assume it’s in a moist terrestrial setup which is not good for a Cambridgei:)

Exactly what I was thinking. Enclosure is set up for a terrestrial T. blondi, not an arboreal P. cambridgei.

Beautiful tarantula :) I am not experienced enough to answer the questions but I did think it was one cambridgei looking Goliath! :p

Thank you very much for sorting her out @Jdcuppycake2020! Sounds like you are on the right track, Your bf really didn't do his research :/

You’ll want an enclosure with more height than floor space. A piece of cork to hide behind or a cork tube to hide in.
when it comes to tarantulas “humidity” isn’t important. Some species are more moisture dependant (like the Blondi) but with a Cambridgei a water dish is more than enough. You can add foliage if you please :)

she may not burrow at that size but make web curtains instead.
